This depends upon which cortex you are asking about. The cerebral cortex is a cream-white color unless it is fixed in formalin, at which point it turns gray. The renal cortex is a deep reddish-brown color and the adrenal cortex is a grayish-brown color.

In the human brain, the cortical region is part of the cerebral cortex. It assists in breaking down sensory input into manageable data for the brain to decode.

There are many parts of the body that have a cortex. The cerebrum of the brain, the renal cortex in the kidney, and a hair shaft have a cortex, as do the adrenal gland and thymus.

The cortex of the kidney is the outer layer containing medullary rays (striations formed by tubules) and medullary lobules (cortical tissue).
